C++ property file

[Hongyu]

I am wondering whether there is any C++ template class somewhere that
is able to read input parameters in a similar fasion like the property
files in Java.

Also, any class avaliable similar to the Getopt package in Perl?
Thanks!

You might look at the new Boost Program Options library:

Thanks, Jonathan. I do like those libaries from Boost.

On the other hand, sometimes I need to feed more than a couple of
parameters to my C++ program, which can be awkward just using command
options. My current solution is to use a XML file to wrap those
parameters.

The program_options library also supports config files.
